The New England Champs are in the bag, we’re shoveling snow and looking at a bleak week. But Bob Strezelewicz and the gang have had a great run on Quabog; here it is in his own words:

Hi Bill
I would like to be a weatherman, they can’t tell you what is coming 12 hours away.
Friday gave us the best ice of the season, you could have sailed in a fart, but we had 25 to 30 it was quite fast.
Saturday we got up to 1 inch of snow and no wind, so we did what ice sailors do, stand around and wait for wind.
About 11 the wind gods came to us,we set up and started sailing in 10 mile of wind , then the snow came,so hard it was a whiteout.
Sailed for an hour and the wind quit,not like this has never happened before.Now the fun of putting gear away in 3 inches of wet snow.
GOD i love this sport.

So it’s tune up and repair time. Bob Scribner, builder of Whizz #34, is mounting his chocks and has borrowed the CIBC alignment triangles. He is in South Portland, so if anyone in the area needs to check and correct alignment, contact Bob and use the triangles.

Just be sure they find their way home to Camden.

There is good ice under that snow.
